The new Management Plan for the AONB has been produced as required by the 2000 Countryside and Rights of Way Act (CRoW).

The five-year plan was adopted by the board in March 2013. There is a strong emphasis on partnership working and the need for public bodies to fulfil their commitment to work towards helping to conserve and enhance the AONB.

It sets out a vision for future management of the area, together with clear objectives and policies, which will guide the Cotswolds Conservation Board in exercising its responsibilities.
